Staff writer Hank Wesch's recap of yesterday's Breeders' Cup World Championships races:
$1 MILLION FILLY & MARE SPRINT
What happened: Maryfield produced a huge stretch run down the middle of a sloppy track to overtake 43-1 shot Miraculous Miss after 1-2 favorites La Traviata and Dream Rush burned each other out contesting a sizzling early pace.
What it means: Victory in his first BC start for 24-year-old Florida-based jockey Elvis Trujillo and distinction of first-ever BC Friday race winner for 6-year-old mare Maryfield.
What they said: “(Trujillo) rode her like he's won 20 Breeders' Cups already. So confident, so cool, so relaxed.” – Maryfield trainer Doug O'Neill.
RESULTS
Six furlongs, Purse $1,125,000, 3-year-olds and up. Time 21.290, 44.190, 56.840, 1:09.850.

$1 MILLION JUVENILE TURF
What happened: Nownownow, last of 12 halfway through the one-mile race, got rolling and managed to outfinish favored Achill Island, who had closed strongly from 10th at the half-mile mark.
What it means: First BC win, in sixth mount, for jockey Julien Leparoux, salving disappointment of sixth-place finish on favored La Traviata one race earlier.
What they said: “I moved at the quarter pole and I knew I was going to get it in the stretch. The turf is not too deep, it's just wet.” – Leparoux.
RESULTS
One mile, Purse $1,000,000, 2 year-olds. Time 24.330, 49.590, 1:15.000, 1:40.480.

What happened: Corinthian shot to the front turning into the stretch and tow-roped the field from there, winning by 6½ lengths, by far the largest victory margin of the day.

What they said: “I looked up at the Jumbotron and they were eight back and I said, 'You've got 'em boy, just keep doing what you're doing.' ” – Desormeaux.
